"This is a fortress": The Armed Forces are not going to leave Bakhmut - Lieutenant of National Guard (video)
"The city is defended on every street, every street, every building is a fortress. Very good fortifications throughout the city. I do not want to reveal where they are, how they are equipped, but believe me, a multi -peeled defense," Nazarenko assured. According to the lieutenant, very intense and intense battles continue on the outskirts of Bakhmut, but the enemy failed to break into the "heart" of the city.
The center of the settlement and the western neighborhoods are under reliable control of the Ukrainian forces. Nazarenko also added that the Russians suffer "crazy losses", and therefore the parts that were planned to be used for the spring full -scale offensive are pulled on the front. "In particular, in the direction where the 24th brigade is now, the Freedom Battalion is felt that it is gradually becoming more and more difficult to look for new reserves," the lieutenant said.
The deputy commander of the battalion "Svoboda" also noted that in the Bakhmut direction in the Armed Forces enough ammunition to repel any provocations of the enemy. At the same time, Nazarenko added that the rate of destruction of hostile forces depends on the pace of supply of ammunition. "It is not necessary to know the internal" kitchen ".
I think that the General Staff, the appropriate command, take all the necessary actions to solve certain problems of both strategic and tactical ones that arise at a particular level," said Vladimir Nazarenko. It should be reminded that on February 14, the Chairman of the Joint Committee of US Headquarters General Mark Millie stated that the situation in Bakhmut has the worst dynamics compared to the rest of the front areas in Ukraine.
